     Caroni 2000 US bottling almost freshly opened - a very nice find at Pusser‘s in Munich. Lacking the side-by-side versus the EU edition, from memory this is on par. As for the EU bottling, this is a very nice expression of the 2000 vintage with high intensity, dirt and some dried fruits. Works very well at the reduced ABV imo.

     A rather dry and oily Caroni with vegetal notes, wood and a little fruit. I’m very happy to have tasted this one although it was a little different from the other Caronis that I have sampled so far.
